I'm new here and the first ROM I've tried installing was RC1 91 but after I finished the procedure, my phone doesn´t leave LG home screen and rebooting after 5 sec. What did I do wrong?
Steps:
- Root;
- Download the ROM;
- Copy in external memory;
- Power off the phone;
- Boot in recovery;
- Backup current ROM;
- Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset;
- Wipe dalvik cache
- Finally, flash ROM and reboot.
And the restore isn´t work too.
Do you have p990 or p999?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
P990 and i was running 2.3.4 V20l Euro Open
What recovery version do you have?, the CWM "touch" version HAS issues with flashing, try an older version , non touch, also its a lot better flashing from the external SD card than the internal memory (a.k.a. internal SD). (I use 5.0.2.7, you can grab it at Temasek thread, second post)
I had flashing issues and here is how they are throubleshoted:
1: Reflash, sometimes CWM (recovery) make bad flashes, reflash, sometimes it work.
2: Format everything, choose factory reset, then flash again, no need to wipe cache or dalvik because everything is wiped except recovery.
3: Use a script to get partition back to ext3, when a rom uses ext4 it automatically changes it BUT when you install a ext3 rom it does NOT reformat back to ext3, it leaves it in ext4 and thus doesnt work.
4: Try another rom, an older or a different rom, I had this issue with topogigi rom once and the modaco rom its 100% incompatible with my phone... dont ask why no one knows.
5: Use a different CMW version, this is no. 5 if you have a non touch version (mine for ej. has modded menus) but if you have the touch version it has issues with flashing, temasek had problems with his own roms...

you're missing one thing you should format/data factory reset first. of course the restore doesn't work because CM7 converts yours system to ext4. while stock rom the system is ext3.
you should try this script
Code:
http://etana.donka.hu/?dir=scripts
if you like you should full wipe or use nvflash recovery there is a thread there in development thread or from this one
Code:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
.
the difference between that script and nvflash is the method. vadonka scripts use CWM. and nvflash use the driver for your computer, if you use method nvflash you have already rom v10b.
after you already use nvflash / full wipe in vadonka script, you can flash cm7 again.
or if you like you can search in development section there is convert to ext3 back of course this method is delete your whole partition
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021549
did you backup your apps first like using titanium backup??
or maybe this method you can use recovery with nvflash but i think with this method you should have your boot.img backup first i haven't tried this method

Thank you guys! I get to restart my phone via smartflash, and now I'm scared to flash ROMs via clockworkmod...Thus, I'll be a long time with this official ROM.

nah don't be affraid to flash roms, it has many great roms rather than stock LG. just backup your data at least and then flash any roms you want.
stock LG is crap, your hardware can't show its performance...

I took nandroid and
1. fixed permission
2. Wiped cache
3. Format system
4. Flashed both zip files
When everything got over and upon clucking power menu->reboot got alert
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
I clicked no and followed steps to install new Rom (wipe data factory, wipe cache n dalvik, format system, format partition except sd )restored my nandroid backup and again got same message that
"You are In safe mode. Unable to access system partitions. Please format system partition except sd. Reboot in recovery. Yes or no"
Please help me. Worrying that my mobile will be bricked. Please guide me to get rid off this..
Edit: I clicked reboot and my mobile booted normally. But under power menu, on clicking reboot, got into same problem. Please help me to avoid this. Worry something wrong in my mobile!!

When you formatted the /system partition, you wiped out Nik's ROM and then you only flashed a new kernel and a patch. That is why it you get the Unable to access system partitions.
You need to flash Nik's ROM again, then flash the kernel and then flash the patch.

Thanks tpbklake. Before formatting systems partition, I have taken nandroid backup. I restored nandroid but after that too, I got same alert.
Ok, I'll start from beginning. After flashing Nik Rom again, can I restore data.img from my nandroid.?
When I am recovery, I got message like. "You are in safe mode, please wipe cache. If u flashed hboot.img then format system"

You changed the radio. Either gb -> ics or ics -> gb and this causes some change in the partition layout that's why recovery is asking you to format. What I don't understand is why you didn't just format the cache partition like it told you to. It would have saved us all some time.

I haven't changed the radio of two different versions. Earlier I was in ICS radio .11M and again flashed the same ICS radio..11M) Yes, I did cache format as well as instructed.
While flashing radio which supports same OS version, am I need to wipe cache or its not required?

If that's what the recovery is telling you to do, I would be inclined to agree.

First flash to stock with ODIN then,
1. Backup your SD Card
2. Format in FAT32 (With fast formatting unticked)
3. Download CWM 6.0.1.5 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852725
4. Install
5. Boot into Stock Room
6. Reboot in recovery mode
But I can't mount /system or /cache from cwm
Sorry for my bad english.
I've flashed with ODIN and flashed CWM Recovery a lot of times, but this time I can't get CWM Recovery to work.
I flash to stock with odin (I tried with 3 different stock versions), then flash CWM (Tried with CWM 4 and CWM 5 and no works, also tried flashing CWM 5 from ODIN)
When I boot in recovery mode, it stays on the screen that says Samsung with a green corner.
And it doesn't ever start CWM recovery.
(The strange thing is that it used to work, and it doesn't now)
Edit: I can boot but I can't boot into CWM recovery, but I can to normal stock recovery after flashing again.

Hi Gurus,
I am getting crazy and desperate after this problem: Samsung Ace GT-S5830, rooted, installed recovery clockwork 5.0.2.6, installed CM10.1 Cooper (tried various RC2, RC6, Nightly..) . The result I always get: as soon as I reboot, after the samsung logo it apperas a white screen for two seconds and then turns all black. I waited some time, 15-20 min, but the phone does not boot!!! This happens with several custom ROM.
When I use ODIN to get to stock firmware is OK, but I am not able to boot with CM10.1.. Please any help!!!
Thanks!
How did you flash it? What options did you pick in recovery? Can you name every option you picked as well?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app

-boot to get CWM recovery clockwork
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe Dalvik cache
- format system
- installed .zip file from SD card "cm-10.1.0-RC6-GT-S5830-cooper"
-reboot
-whote screen (2 seconds) than stucks with black screen
- tried to reboot many times again wiping data, and cache
Note: the same happens with other CM ROMs, cooper or nightly
Note: using ODIN I am able to restore a stock firmware, but I would like to use CM10.1
It is one week behind this and I am getting crazy here! ;-(

Have attached the file. Check it out, though its the same file you used earlier. Use Odin to install Stock Firmware. I was on Gingerbread v2.3.6 when rooted using the attached file. Though you know the steps, let me put it on here.
-Use Odin to install Stock Firmware(You know how to connect the device & work on)
-Once the Stock Firmware is flashed successfully, check if your phone is good to go. Check if everything is working
-Now root your phone using the attached file.

Thanks, after at least 10 attepmts of rooting and reflashing with ODIN I managed to root the phone (confirmed by Root Checker).
(Each root file update.zip, upd_1.zip, root.zip only works with some specific stock firmware, so I managed to finally find the right one for root file update.zip).
NOW: I am trying to install CM10.1 with the following steps:
- Boot into CWM Recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Format /System
- Install zip from SD card / choose ROM zip from SD card
but the boot fails (white screen for 2 seconds than black screen!!!)
I have already tried the following ROMs without success:
cm-10.1-20130503-NIGHTLY-cooper
cm-10.1.0-RC6-GT-S5830-cooper
cm-10.1.0-GT-S5830-cooper++

what's wrong¿?
Did you download the rom file correctly¿? Is the download file corrupted¿?
Is your sdcard corrupted¿? Did you try to format it in fat32 format?¿
Check it and then flash the rom again, CM roms work with whatever baseband you have, only with (2.3.x as base) and you need CWM5.x to flash this roms
IMPORTANT!! 5830I , 5830C and 5830M models aren't suppot!!!

Hi
I'm searching for a custom ROM for my mom's gamaxy s5 mini. Touchwize is very buggy on her devices, so i'm looking for a stable ROM.
I'm not specific looking for a ROM that has a lot of features but they are always welcome.
What ROM do you guys suggest?
Thanks
stock rom with custom kernel

Custom roms for the S5 Mini are still on BETA stage. They have some bugs, an higher battery drain and some features are unsopported. Stock rom with a custom kernel and ROOT os the best way. Also, don't forget to format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem.

What kernel do you suggest?
And how do I format data and cache partition into F2FS filesystem? And before I do that, in what filesystem are they formated originally?

I suggest this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-kernel-t3130662
You can format the two partitions into the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery. Normally, on every phone, they are formatted into the ext4 filesystem (you can also read it before formatting)

Last question.
Why only format the Data and Cache partitions into the F2FS filesystem? And not the other partitions?

Because only these two partitions have this possibility.
What custom kernel would you recommend for G800H? And what is the advantage of formatting the partitions into F2FS?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS should tell you why you want this (It's a FS designed especially for mobile devices that use flash memory for storage).
Sm-g800h or sm-g800f???
Info: model SM-G800F, baseband G800FXXU1BPC4
I had the same question as TS and listened to the advice of @Andrea224 by flashing the custom kernel mentioned in this thread.
I started with the stock 5.1.1 ROM.
- First I flashed the kernel using Odin3.
- Then I flashed TWRP 3.0.0 recovery using Odin3.
- Then I re-formatted \data and \cache F2FS booting in TWRP.
All went well.
When I boot in Recovery I got the question to mount read/write and the warning about not able to receive OTA updates.
When I exit Recovery I get the question to install SuperSU.
Coming from a long line of HTC devices the above questions are new to me.
What do they mean? I once did choose to install SuperSU. Is my phone rooted now? Or should I still flash the CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5 file?
Also in TW I get the questions about not having an original software installed. Is this about Knox? How can I disable this?
Concluded: Have I done all the correct steps to have a stable system?

Now, I will explain to you how to get it work properly:
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the latest update of the TouchWiz for your country with Odin. (If you are on CM13, into TWRP: 1- Do a backup of your data; 2- In Wipe -> Advanced Wipe select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data and wipe these partitions; then select Cache and Data and format both to ext4; 3- After all, flash TWwith Odin)
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash SuperSU with CF-Auto-root.
- Boot your phone in download mode and flash the TWRP 3.0.0 with Odin.
- When you are into recovery: 1- Tick the option for never show this message on every reboot into recovery and then swipe to allow modification; 2- Do a backup of your Data; 3- Flash the custom kernel; 4- Format Data and Cache to F2FS; 5- Restore the backup of your Data; 6- Reboot the phone and DO NOT allow to install SuperSU if it ask to you. (If after the reboot, the phone says that your device isn't rooted, flash another time CF-Auto-root)
- With the kernel and root installed, now is time to delete some apps: 1- Download and install RootExplorer; 2- Go into "system" -> search SecurityLogAgent.apk into the folder called "app" or "priv-app" (I don't remember in which folder is it) and delete it. Naturally, you have to grant root access to the app.
Now you have a good and stable rom. Also, if you want to debloat the stock rom, you can use this ZIP -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-urwsoft-barebone-cleaner-t3043479 (this is for the S5, but it's compatible with the S5 Mini) or you can delete manually some apps through RootExplorer. If you have some problems, contacts me.
With Root Explorer you mean the payed version?

Yes, just search on Google the apk.
Did all the steps above except for the URWsoft BareBone Cleaner. I had to reflash both Autoroot and TWRP through Odin twice. Weird. By removing SecurityLogAgent.apk I was finally able to enjoy my device without being warned all the time. Nice!
I have noticed that after every reboot my Wifi connection settings are lost. Anybody else experienced this?

It's a bug, it appears when you flash a custom kernel. To fix it, go here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65568464&postcount=10
I'm sorry for restoring such an old thread but my question is the same.
Which is the best rom for G800F?
Custom roms I see that have still many known bugs
Stock rom ok, but how about debloating it? I haven't found a debloated version, nor a guide/script to debloat it automatically.
And what about the kernel? Which is the best kernel for stock rom? And for custom roms?
Thank you

I use Root Package Disabler from play store, it has in-built bloatware list that you can disable/freeze.
Very convenient and effective.
How about Resurrection Remix MM? It's marked as stable and it seems that everything is working in the changelog and comments.
Or LOS 13 too seems everything is working (but I can't find confirmation in comments)
I'm using this one
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-2-t3562523
It's 7.1.2 RR. It's perfection. I'm not even kidding I've used it for 3 months and it's stable as hell. On top of that it has million features that come with RR roms. Battery life is really good too.
